    this is for people who dont have alot a points, but lots of friends
    I've told about 18 of my friends about this site, and know they all( most of them) have their own account. I not trying to be a ahole, or a pesk, but dont u think that there should be this new system where you can earn( atleas 100-200 points a pluck) for each person you recommended this site to?? I've seen this at other sites, thats why im bringing this up.

    it sounds like an okay idea except that people might abuse this to get more points. (like create multiple accounts)

    if this were to work, the way to do it would be to log the ip when you create a new account, limiting it to maybe two accounts total (in case you have more than one person per household that goes on here).

    If you do log the ips you do know someone could go to a public computer and creat two accounts or something.

    Loony and I talked about this last week and we intend to implement a system that won't allow abuse but will still allow people to earn some extra points.

    I considered that to, but think about the people who want to download big iso files without paying or waiting for points, they just make another profile and use the point over , and this keps happining untill they get all the files they want.
    long story short, there are people who already do that.

    seriously? people are THAT horrible?

    I know people make multiple accounts, but with an IP account limit, that should lessen the degree.

    Yes. I guess this suggestion is similar to referals, like on get rich sites.

    We will very soon start focusing more on admin features instead of user features, one of these will allow us to actively ban people who try to create multiple accounts to get extra points.
